Pros

Good work life balance Very supportive Managers Give you sufficient time to adapt, grow and deliver in your role

Cons

Make sure you are in a team which does good and impactful work. If your team’s work is not good/impactful - chances are you may experience an environment of very slow growth, which really isn’t good, specially if you’re in your early stage of career. So make sure that you join the right team with impactful work if you’re thinking of joining Morgan Stanley.
